Flybe Liverpool - Isle of Man Childrens Id?

HiThinking of going back to the Isle of Man in a couple of weeks and this will be considered a domestic flight as its from Liverpool - I know that adults need a proof of ID for domestic flights but what about children aged under 12 ? My sons passport ran out over 2 years ago and i dont think accompanied Children need a form of ID as the parents vouch for them as such but the wife thinks different - anyone done this journey recently with Children ?

Not really sure to be honest, i live on the island but haven't done the journey with kids, but i will find out for you if you don't get an answer on here

It looks like they don't need one as long as they are travelling with an adult:

from flyb website:

Passengers under the age of 16 years who are travelling with an adult do … Passengers under the age of 16 years who are travelling with an adult do not require separate photographic ID to travel on domestic routes. The adult is able to vouch for the child's identity. If they travel alone they will require their own photographic ID to travel from the age of 12 years.
